The gameplay is characterized by random enemy spawns that enhance diversity and engagement, alongside an arcade-like experience with radio chatter and teammates. While there are numerous weapons with unique mechanics and an innovative sprinting system, the core VR mechanics, particularly movement and inventory management, are criticized for being janky and in need of improvement. Overall, the gameplay loop of completing random objectives is enjoyable, but significant issues with basic VR mechanics detract from the experience.

- “Just the arcade-like gameplay with radio chatter and teammates that accompany you.”

- “However, some of the common core VR mechanics, particularly the movement, have a serious problem.”
- “The VR mechanics are all janky, from grabbing to inventory.”
- “Unfortunately, there are more negatives that need to be fixed, starting with basic VR gun mechanics.”

The game's story is minimal and lacks depth, primarily focusing on objective-driven missions that feel more like tactical exercises than a cohesive narrative.

The absence of multiplayer and a richer storyline is noted as a significant missed opportunity for enhancing the overall experience.

- “The story isn't elaborate though.”
- “The missions are also pretty basic.”
- “AI seems to just appear right next to me; this needs to be looked at. The mission design lacks clarity, and I feel like I'm holding the mini-map tablet the whole time to figure out where to go next.”
